In this workshop, the exhibition curator of Lubaina Himid and Magda Stawarska's Nets for Night and Day invites visitors (at any skill or appreciation level) to a day of poetry. Using the exhibition as inspiration, workshop participants will gather, wander, read, listen and respond to a series of guided prompts by Kholeif throughout the session. At the end of the session, everyone takes home a poem of their own making and a sense of how the small things make up the poetics of everyday life.
